Boon Keng MRT station is an underground Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) station on the North East line in Kallang, Singapore.
Located underneath Serangoon Road just after the traffic junction with Towner Road and Boon Keng Road, Boon Keng station primarily serves the Boon Keng subzone and more importantly the residents residing in the area. Other than the HDB dwellers, residents of condos such as Eight Riversuites, Regent Residences and The Arcady at Boon Keng also benefited greatly from the convenience. The station was named after Lim Boon Keng, a Chinese physician who promoted health and educational reforms in Singapore.

History
The North East line (NEL) Contract 705 for the design and construction of Potong Pasir and Boon Keng stations and associated tunnels was awarded to the joint venture of Kumagai Gumi, Sembawang Engineering & Construction and Mitsui & Corporation on 23 June 1997 for $316.7 million. To facilitate the construction of the station, a part of Bendemeer Shopping Mall was demolished to make way for the construction of this station. The remaining portion of the building continues to be used for retail purposes today.
